The communication of information about the brain and mental health to the public lies at the heart of what the BNA tries to achieve. BNA2015: Festival of Neuroscience has teamed up with the Edinburgh International Science Festival (EISF). The EISF is an annual event that electrifies the City Centre, showcasing science in wonderful and imaginative ways for people of all ages and delivered by scientists. In 2015, the brain will be the major theme for EISF where neuroscientists will share their passion for the wonders of the brain.
The Edinburgh International Science Festival (EISF) programme includes a series of ‘Brainwave‘ events. Two of these events are the BNA Keynote lectures given by Professor David Nutt and Professor Adrian Owen. BNA 2015 delegates can register to attend these two public lectures for FREE and will also receive discounts on all other Brainwave events, BUT ADVANCE BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL.
